I sleep so much better out here than I used to when I lived in the city, well unless there is an elephant in my garden. This young bull paid me a visit, three nights running. Food is limited out there, things are tough, but inside camp, all sorts of tasty morsels await him.

I managed to get a couple of hours just before dawn, only to open my eyes and see him enjoying the spiky leaves of a palm tree just outside my door. When I opened my door, he came up and rested his head on my patio roof, I was about 2m away from him when I took this picture.
